Application mea July 13,

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. Vlilollann, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough ci Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Calendar, of which the following is a description.v

My invention relates to perpetual calendars of thetype in which separate adjustable means are provided for displaying respecweek day, and the name of a month.

The general object of my invention is to provide a calendar of the indicated character improved in various particulars and notably with respect to the means for displaying the day of the month prominently.

A more specific object of the invention is to provide a construction reflecting practical considerations with respect to the assemblage of the means for displaying the name of the month and the name of the week day.

rI he nature' of the invention, its distinctive characteristics and its advantages will clearly appear as the description proceeds.

Reference is to be Yhad to the accompany- Ving drawings forming a partof this specilication, it being understood that the drawings are merely Villustrative of one example of the invention. l l

Figure 1 is a front view of a calendar embodyingmy invention, a portion of the 'front being broken away;

Fig.; 2 is a longitudinal vertical section on the ,line 2-2, Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 'is a transverse section cn the line In carrying out my inventionin accordance with the illustrated example, a boxlike body 10 is provided usually oblong in practice and open at the front side. On the said body at the front thereof I provide a front 11 forming a closure of the box. Said front presents a comparatively large opening 12 for the display of a day of the month as well as smaller openings 13, 14 above and below the opening 12 for the display respectively of the name of a week day and the name of a month.

In order to display the days of the month in succession at the opening 12, I employ a web 15 extending transversely at the back of the front 11 and across the opening 12, said web bearing the days of the month. The web 15 is adapted to be wound in either di- Specieaton of PATENT OFFICE.

I provide in connection'with the box-likeV body 10 and its front 11 a unit 2O which includes a sheet lying at the back of said front and disposed on the inwardly directed edge flanges 10"L of the body 10. On the back of said unit 2O I provide a disk 21 revolubly secured at its center by any suitable means indicated at 21a. Said disk 21 has produced thereon in annular series the names of the week days and so disposed that the turning of the disk may bring the name of a given day to the opening 22 formed in the unit 2O in register with the opening 13. A second disk 23 is revolubly mounted as at 23a on the unit 2O at lthe back and overlaps the disk 21 for economizing space. Said disk 23 bears in annular series the names of the months so that the name of a given month may be presented at an opening 211 in the unit 2O in register with the opening 14. The unit 2O constitutes at the back of the opening 12 a table 2OEL serving as a backing to support the web 15 and said unit 2O has cut-outs 2Gb at the sides of the table 20 through which cut-outs the web 15 runs to and from the table 20. The unit 20 furthermore has cut-outs 26 at the top and sides adjacent to the disk 21 so that said disk is more readily taken hold of at the periphery by the finger of the operator for shifting the disk for the successive display of the week days. Similarly, at the bottom said unit 20 has a cut-out 27 that the adjacent edge portion of the disk 23 may be the more readily taken hold of for turning. In practice, the front 11 and the sheet of the unit 20 may be fastened to the box by any suitable means, there beingindicated brads 28 extending through said front and sheet and through the flanges 10a into the partition 17 and end stifleners 1S, 19.

With the described arrangement I am enabled in a compact structure to provide large and prominent numbers for the days of the month and the correspondingly large openings 12 therefor. At the same time compactness and convenience of assemblage is promoted as well as the maximum facility in adjusting the calendar to display the successive dates.

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment ofmy invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the mechanical details herein illustrated, since manifestly the same can be considerably varied without departure `from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

yHaving thus described my invention, I claim: Y

1. A calendar of the class described including a body having a front presenting an opening for the display of a given day of the month, winding rollers mounted in said body at the sides of said `opening and optionally operable from the exterior of the body, a web extending transversely of said body between said rollers and vacross said opening adapted to be moved in either direction by the rollers, a unit on said body beneath said front and constituting at said opening a table forming a backing for said web, and adjustable means carried. by said unit respectively above and below said table and bearing respectively the names of the week days and the months, said front of the body presenting openings at which the name of a week dayv and the name otl a month may be displayed.
